i don't really feel like blogging, and that irritates me. so, i am blogging. sort of. following you will find a number of my favorite quotes. mostly from c.s. lewis, with a sprinkling of others thrown in for a bit of variety.

  • You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body. ~C. S. Lewis
  • You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me. ~C. S. Lewis
  • Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. ~Dalai Lama
  • Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. ~C. S. Lewis
  • Humor is mankind's greatest blessing. ~Mark Twain
  • To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. ~ C. S. Lewis
  • The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.  ~ C. S. Lewis
  • God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.~ C. S. Lewis
  • Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. ~Abraham Lincoln
  • Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?  ~A. A. Milne
  • I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then. ~Lewis Carroll
  • Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. ~ C. S. Lewis
  • He that but looketh on a plate of ham and eggs to lust after it hath already committed breakfast with it in his heart. ~C. S. Lewis
